It is pouring here in Perth today. It is still Summer but I was ever so slightly tempted to chuck a few logs into our woodburner and light it up.. But alas, I am under the pump to get my Wearable Art piece finished so upto my cold workshop I go, armed with a steaming cup of tea and vast quantities of English Cadburys chocolate. I have reached the point in this project that I hate... I hate so much that I just look at it, knowing what I have to do but not wanting to physically do it. This is a huge hurdle for me and one that I must get over. I made the base for the skirt and have attached all of my plastic scales. I have made accessories, they are all complete. I now need to neaten it, strengthen it and stitch on velcro. EUGH... Stitching.. I just struggle. I am so near finishing but this is now an uphill (and we are talking 80% gradient hill) race... a mental block... so, I procrastinate...

I am so so busy right now, both in my head and in real! Alongside Wearable Art, I have 3 jellyfish to complete for an exhibition down in Dunsborough My EOI to fill a container with art for an art weekend in Claremont was accepted last week - I will be making a giant forest diorama, I am very excited to start this but am trying to hold myself back to finish other projects first... 'PrOcRaStInAtIoN'!!. This term and next I will be working within several local schools to create a mural to be painted on a wall somewhere in Rockingham. Having a hubby who is absent two weeks out of three and juggling home life and two boys into the mix makes for a very interesting life! Add to that my appalling record of time management.......

Anyhow, back to my Wearable Art... this is a photo of one of my 'fins' It is an arm piece, modelled by my 11 year old. Made form aluminium litho plate and ironed milk bottle plastic - which gives a great translucency... My next blog I write may well have a full photo of my outfit as I have planned photos for next Tuesday, I can then send in my application and crack on with my jellyfish... Anyhow, I must make another cup of tea and away I go.. till next time :)
